You can do it without the sim card.

Before you can proceed further, we need firmware version and baseband on your phone so we can route you to the next step.

i dont have a sim card laying around. but if i used one from another phone will it affect that sim card if i jailbreak it???

I notice that you are in Canada and with Roger. So, I believe the phone is locked to Rogers network. You can use any Rogers's sim card, pop it in and hook it up to itunes. You will be able to by pass the emergency screen.

You don't need to do that though. Since you have an Iphone 3G where the latest firmware is 4.2.1. Just hook it up to Itunes. Put it into DFU mode and Itunes will allow you to restore to this firmware.

Once you done, just hactivate it with redsn0w and you will have a jailbreak iphone.
